IB Geography Changing Space - Infoladies of Bangladesh

DateThursday, July 22, 2010 at 9:17PM

Useful news article and YouTube video clip to assist with the teaching of the following IB Geography syllabus point:

Changing space—the shrinking world > Extension and density of networks

Describe the role of information and communications technology (ICT) in civil society and the transmission and flow of images, ideas, information and finance.

Examine the contrasting rates, levels and patterns of adoption of an element of ICT in two countries.
Armed with a netbook, medical supplies and a bicycle, Bangladesh's InfoLadies are giving millions of poor people access to crucial information on their doorsteps that will improve their chances in life.
